  • Patent number: 11873815
    Abstract: A vane pump having an electric drive unit with a drive shaft, a pump chamber, a rotor arranged in the pump chamber so as to rotate about a rotational axis, and a driver that has at least one driver pin and is connected in a rotationally fixed manner to the drive shaft, wherein, in an operating state of the vane pump, the driver pin, by way of a contact surface of the driver pin designed as a section of a lateral surface, engages in a torque-transmitting manner with a contact surface of the rotor delimiting a rotor recess designed to correspond to the driver pin. In order to improve a vane pump, it is proposed that the contact surface of the rotor is designed and arranged in such a manner that the rotational axis lies in the contact surface when this contact surface is hypothetically extended toward the rotational axis.

  • Patent number: 10774835
    Abstract: A vacuum pump with a primarily cylinder-shaped pump housing is provided. A bowl-shaped sound-absorbing cover is attached on the pump housing and a circumferential gap space for sound absorption is formed between the pump housing and the sound-absorbing cover. The pump housing has an end face in which at least one air outlet opening is arranged. An elastic upstream sound absorber element is arranged between the end face and the sound-absorbing cover so that an upstream chamber is formed therebetween into which the air flows from the air outlet opening. The upstream sound absorber element has a molded projection facing the end face with an air channel passing through the projection. The projection is arranged at a distance from the end face during operation of the vacuum pump. While the vacuum pump is idle, the projection makes contact with the end face through elastic deformation of the upstream sound absorber element, causing the air channel to be closed off and creating a check valve function.

  • Patent number: 9765775
    Abstract: A vane pump with a pump housing in which a cam ring is constructed or arranged, and wherein a rotor is provided that is mounted in the cam ring so that it can rotate about a rotational axis , wherein the cam ring has an inner contour with a variable radius that varies between a maximum radius and a minimum radius in the circumferential direction about the rotational axis , wherein, in the radial gap between the inner contour and the rotor , a number of lift sections is constructed with pump chambers constructed in these sections, and wherein vane elements are mounted on the rotor , wherein these elements slide against the inner contour of the cam ring and limit the pump chambers in the circumferential direction. According to the invention, the radius of the inner contour varies about the rotational axis according to the function: r=r0+a·sin(n·?), where r0=(rmax+rmin)/2, a =(rmax?rmin)/2, and ?=phase angle of the radius (r) between (rmin) and (rmax) in the direction of rotation of the rotor .

  • Patent number: 9719513
    Abstract: A pump includes a pump chamber in which a rotor with gates is supported so that it can rotate, an electric motor for driving the rotor, an outlet, and an inlet port that is fastened to a mounting plate and is in active connection with an inlet channel. The pump should be improved so that its service life and reliability are improved with minimal installation complexity in a vehicle, wherein intense cleaning of lines and devices connected on the suction side can be eliminated. This is achieved in that a filter is arranged in the area of the inlet channel between the mounting plate and the pump chamber.
